Dealer couldn't get "learn" process to work for TPMS

I've got new GM TPMS sensors and the local dealer (who I despise) couldn't get the "learn" process working. Is it unique to these Caprices compared to other Chevy's? Or is the tech at the dealer an idiot (who to his credit did explain that he only knows Subaru's and he hasn't been working ...

Re: 2011 9C3 key removal issue symptoms

You know, it's interesting you found this. I recall having the exact same issue with my 2011 9C3 a few times. It's something with the shifter alignment that creeps out of tolerance methinks. I thought maybe the little metal strip could be bent a little extra so that it depresses the pin switch more...

2011 9C3 key removal issue symptoms

Started a new thread because this issue has taken a turn it seems, "New sh*t has come to light". Used to have starting issues, told the Chevy dealer who then replaced my ignition under warranty, that didn't fix anything, now they say I should replace the starter. I don't want to just throw...

A/C parts needed and some questions

I'm in need of a hose for my a/c, Part #92265956. Apparently it's on national backorder with no ETA. I had the dealer check my A/C because it's no longer blowing cold and apparently there's a leak in this hose. So I need the hose and a couple of seals. Anybody know a way to track the parts down? Som...

Re: 2011 9C3 ignition acting up

After reading DapperDanMan's thread on not being able to remove his key from the ignition http://www.newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4217 I became suspicious that maybe I was having the problem with the pin that contacts the pin switch that tells the car it's in Park. So I took the shif...

Re: Can’t remove key from ignition

Thanks for the tip. Just put a new battery in this thing a few months ago. We'll see what's going on around the shifter... When my battery was dying my car took multiple tries to start. It was intermittent, and all the accessories worked when it wouldn't start. Might want to check that out. To remov...

Re: Can’t remove key from ignition

I'm thinking this must be the problem with my 2011 9C3. Is there a thread on how to remove the trim on a 9C3 to get in there to see what's going on? I have starting problems and sometimes key removal problems. Ignition was replaced under warranty (just based on me telling them it would take 2 or 3 t...

Re: NEW starter problem

So how hard is it to replace the starter? My only experience is old Chevy's.

Re: 2011 9C3 ignition acting up

What have you checked to correct? Just a few strategies we have tried in other threads: Check health of main battery 12.4 volts or higher best bet. Disconnect the AUX battery to take it out of the equation. If you got a jumper cable long enough (18 footer) run it from the Negative battery terminal ...

Re: 2011 9C3 ignition acting up

Almost stuck at a gas station recently :shock: Now it seems like the starter is bad. I cross my fingers before trying to start the car. I hear the click sound coming from underneath the car when I turn the key, I hold the key and my breath and wait for it to start turning over, it's taken as long as...
